    Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

    Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here. With Passover quickly approaching, and just 2 1/2 weeks for our yearly top to bottom house cleaning, I need to put aside the craft supplies, or rather organize them, rather than use them, though I am thinking about how I'll count the Omer…

    Watercolor Cut-Out Poppies Centerpiece For Passover!

    I have pulled this one out of the archives, because there is no time like the present to get crafting for Passover, and this one is a keeper! And since the red native anemones are now in bloom in our meadows, this is timely! I know I've referred to them as poppies, as that is…

    Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

    Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday thanks so much for joining me here! Whew, what a week it was with Purim preparation and then recovery, and now the gnawing idea that Passover is less than a month a way, and that means a top to bottom house cleaning and organizing! Of course one does not have…

    A Fun Origami Horse To Make In A Bunch Of Sizes!

    While origami butterflies were truly the theme this Purim, I did sneak in a bunch of origami horses which I ended up using in the festive food baskets for friends and neighbors, called mishloach manot. And yes, I did dress my horses up a bit, but keeping that to myself for the moment as who…

  • Recycled Cereal Box Gift Bag

    Recycled Cereal Box Gift Bag

    It has been quite a while since I made gift bags from cereal boxes, but somehow after all the crafting I did this year for Tu B'Shevat and then Purim, it just seemed natural to go with the flow! So this year, rather than giving neighbors a nice selection of Morocan salads for our Mishloach…

    Origami Butterfly Pom Pom Medallion Wall Decor Craft

    I'll admit, I started folding hundreds of origami butterflies in a few sizes for out community women's Purim party, with no actual plan other than maybe some colorful paper clouds and a sky filled with butterflies. I started to think about how I could assemble something at home to make the job on-site quicker, and…

    The stunning red crown Anemone, which is a native Israeli flower, is now in bloom and just as lovely as ever! I took these photos at the end of the day, so the flowers were mostly closed, but will head out again this week, as the combination of these lovely flowers and the blooming almond…
